Potato, Red Grenaille from France

Grown in France, these charming red grenaille potatoes are small, naturally colourful and wonderfully delicious. Their thin red skin adds a beautiful touch to the plate and gives them an appealing texture when roasted, while their firm, creamy flesh remains tender and melting after cooking. With a delicate, slightly sweet flavour and subtle notes of hazelnut, they are both refined and comforting. Their petite size also means they can be cooked whole, without peeling, allowing them to retain even more flavour and character.

For a delicious French-inspired dish, roast them with olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme, then finish with a pinch of fleur de sel. Simply wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, coat them with olive oil, crushed garlic, herbs and black pepper, then roast them at 200°C for approximately 35–40 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. They should be beautifully golden and crisp on the outside, while remaining soft and fluffy in the centre. Serve them hot alongside roast chicken, grilled meat or a delicate piece of fish for a generous and colourful accompaniment that brings the flavours of the French countryside to the table.
